Why I Ride ...

July, 2017

Dear Family, Friends, and Colleagues,

It's that time of year again… I ride 192 miles and you reach into your pocket to help people fighting cancer. It’s a battle that has affected all of us, so I’m hoping for your support.

In less than 3 weeks, I will be participating in a 192-mile bike ride across the state of Massachusetts in the Pan Mass Challenge (PMC). 100% of the funds I raise will go directly to the Dana Farber Cancer Institute in Boston. Dana Farber’s goal is to provide compassionate care to children and adults with cancer while advancing the understanding, diagnosis, treatment, cure, and prevention of the disease.

My goal is to raise $15,000 for the Dana Farber Cancer Institute. This year we have a private donor who is matching all of our donations up to $50,000! For every dollar you give – it gets doubled!

For my 10th year riding the Pan-Mass Challenge, I have decided to dedicate my ride to the kids with Cancer. What could be worse than having a child diagnosed with this horrific disease? Unfortunately, in 2017, I have heard this story too many times.

Grant, age 6, is fighting T-Cell Acute Lymphoma Leukemia, which is more rare and requires more intensive treatment than the more common type of leukemia.

Tommy, age 10, is fighting Pediatric Low Grade Astrocytoma (PLGA), a brain tumor which he has been fighting since the age of 3.

Hannah, age 12, was diagnosed with a rare form of bone cancer called Ewing’s Sarcoma. She has been battling for over a year.

But cancer does not always win. People like Whitney, Jim B., Tom M., Frankie, Grant, Tommy, Hannah, Kate, and Anne continue on with their lives, despite challenging diagnoses. And the reason for their extended and vibrant lives is largely due to advanced research, new therapies, new drugs, and new protocols. Scientists and physicians really ARE saving lives. But that success is dependent on people like you, who support researchers with the money they desperately need to continue.

I would be honored to ride in honor of one of your loved ones who has been touched this disease. Send me their names and they will be written on my riding jersey, and will be in my thoughts every mile that I ride.

You can pledge your support in two ways.

Let’s not sit back and feel helpless. Let’s do something right now to remember the lives of those we have lost, and honor those who fight against cancer every day. With your help, prognoses will improve. Let’s work together to support the good work being done at the Dana Farber.

We all know someone. Let’s do this. Together.
